WHAT THE HELL AM I GOING TO GET MY WIFE FOR CHRISTMAS!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?

I'm usually a great gift-giver, but this year I am at a loss.

While I am not your wife, I am a wife, and I have a Christmas list:

1) new earrings
2) new window to replace the one that cracked when we fixed the foundation
3) membership to the local museum
4) tickets to a good show (I don't have kids, but I would assume a good show for your wife would be sans kids)
5) gift card for new shoes
6) wine
7) something fun that may or may not include the kids - hint: has she suggested any specific activity to do together as a family??

"We do not need any other Tutankhamun's tomb with all its treasures. We need context. We need understanding. We need knowledge of historical events to tie them together. We don't know much. Of course we know a lot, but it is context that's missing, not treasures." - Werner Herzog, in Archaeology, March/April 2011

1) hour at the spa
2) somethin from one of them there Vicki's Clandestine Underwear stores
3) really really good chocolate
4) a sappy poem or letter that you wrote yourself
5) (along similar lines) piece of jewelry with an explanation of its signifiance to you

Not terribly original I'll grant you but time tested and true.
If you're ever in the market for ideas on what NOT to get her let me know. I am a master in this field

People will miss that it once meant something to be Southern or Midwestern. It doesn't mean much now, except for the climate. The question, “Where are you from?” doesn't lead to anything odd or interesting. They live somewhere near a Gap store, and what else do you need to know? - Garrison Keillor

Earings or a bracelet. It seems hard to go wrong with those things for the wive no matter what your price range.

My wife is getting a cargo net for her the Traverse we got earlier this fall, new winter hat and gloves, the Mindy Kaling book, some chapstick and a few other toiletries. All are things she specifically asked for. The only surprise gift for her is a pair of earings but technically, those are going to be from our daughter to her.

Every year I want to get my wife a gym membership to my gym because I think she would enjoy the opportunity to get away for a few hours every week to relieve some stress. I never do however because I am afraid what sort of message she would think I am trying to send.

I got her several smaller things - earings, See's Candies, silk thermals, and so on. But the big gift this year is something special. For over 13 years one of our dogs, Sukros, gave my wife her whole heart. Sukros passed away this year. I gathered up the best photos I took of her and compiled them into a book from one of the online services. I know she will cry, but she will treasure it always.

I asked the BF for a Kruieg, earrings are always a hit. When asked what my favorite 'stone' is, I always say diamonds as they go with everything

Gift cards to favorite stores for shopping
Tickets-to something she wants to go to, like a concert or musical.
Plane ticket to go visit a girlfriend that lives far away...just ideas
I think you can do it!

I got my wife silk long underwear. Hey, we've been married for 15 years...

I'm hoping to pick up some earrings as well as she recently re-pierced her ears. But we are down to one car and its very difficult to "slip off" somewhere without her knowledge as she is usually the one driving it.

Online ordering or and have the package shipped to a trusted neighbor's house or your office.

On a related note...concert tickets have become increasingly more expensive in the roughly 15 years that I've been attending.

I hope you went with P!nk!

She will love it! And if you go to the show with her, you'll love the eye candy!
